Li Pengtao rolled up his sleeves and said quietly, " Miss Lin, don't worry, I won't hit anyone."
"So what are you doing...?"
"I'm calling the police."
"... Special Assistant Li, you are so law-abiding; my elder brother will surely be pleased."
[It's pathetic, but the method was correct.]
that is!
The man's brother hadn't arrived yet, but the police had.
As he was being led into the police car, he shouted, "You have no sportsmanship!"
Li Pengtao shrugged, indifferent; he was tired.
Because Huang Ying, who was originally supposed to go on a blind date with Li Pengtao, was also notified to come to the police station and learn what had happened.
The police reassured her that if the man dared to harass her again or spread rumors, they would definitely take action.
Huang Ying was very grateful and made a special thank you to Li Pengtao before leaving.
Watching Huang Ying's departing figure, Li Pengtao's eyes hardened; he had to go to work!
" Tingyue, did you run into Special Assistant Li today?"
Back home, Lin Yuhuan, holding a cup of coffee, asked.
"Yes, what happened to him?"
Lin Yuhuan showed Lin Tingyue the message Li Pengtao had sent him. Li Pengtao had written a short essay, but in essence, it was that he wanted to go to work and was willing to go to work.
Lin Tingyue shook her head, "[Look at what they've done to the child.]"
"So, brother, what are your thoughts?"
" The Lin Group has no intention of exploiting its employees."
"Will you let him continue his leave?"
Lin Yuhuan took a sip of coffee. "If he's unwilling, I'll pay him triple his salary."
Lin Tingyue: "!"
That's triple pay! Why don't I have such a great boss?
Lin Yuhuan smiled indulgently.
Lin Tingyue sniffed and said, "Big brother, your coffee smells so good!"
Would you like to try some?
Will it be bitter?
I'll add more sugar and milk for you.
Lin Tingyue smiled and said, "Okay."
Lin Yuhuan handed the freshly brewed coffee to Lin Tingyue. Lin Tingyue took a sip, and Lin Yuhuan asked, "How is it? Not too bitter, right?"
Not bitter, very rich
The aroma of coffee.
"That's good. If you want to drink it again in the future, just tell your older brother."
"Good."
"Then the older brother went upstairs."
"Okay, big brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'll watch TV for a while."
"Good."
Lin Tingyue turned on the TV and caught a glimpse of a figure outside the French windows.
For some reason, as the figure drew closer, Lin Tingyue's heart pounded, her ears turned red, and a surge of heat rose within her.
As the man entered, Lin Tingyue looked at him with some surprise. " Mr. Ying, what brings you here?"
Ying An must have rushed over; he looked travel-worn, his deep eyes fixed on Lin Tingyue. He asked, " Miss Lin, did you go on a blind date today?"
"Oh, I didn't. Why would you think that?"
Ying An showed Lin Tingyue the chat history, and Lin Tingyue's eyes widened when she saw the words "blind date" that she had sent.
She quickly remembered.
Just as she mistakenly thought Li Pengtao was about to fight with that man, Ying An sent her a message asking what she was doing. Without thinking, she sent the message "blind date".
After hearing Lin Tingyue's explanation, Ying An said, "I see."
"Yes, my family has absolutely no habit of making me go on blind dates."
"Yes, I misunderstood."
Lin Tingyue poured water for Ying An and placed it in front of him. She asked, "Does your family have a tradition of arranged marriages?"
Ying An paused, "No, not at all."
Ying An went to get the cup. I don't know what he did before, but the veins on the back of his fair and slender hand were bulging and his knuckles were faintly red.
Lin Tingyue was momentarily lost in thought.
Mr. Ying's hands are also very beautiful.
Ying An choked on water, and Lin Tingyue hurriedly handed him a piece of paper.
Ying An wiped it clean and said, "Thank you, Miss Lin."
"You're welcome."
They looked at each other in silence, the only sound in the living room being the clinking of cups against the table, a crisp sound like the drumbeats of music from the previous night.
Without warning, Lin Tingyue asked, " Mr. Ying, have you been listening to a song lately?"
"What?"
"It's like a fleeting One Heartbeat."
Ying An's apple bobbed, clearly uncomfortable. "Never heard of it. I'll listen to it when I get back."
"Oh."
The atmosphere became awkward again. Lin Tingyue asked, " Mr. Ying, how's your learning of lame jokes going?"
"It hasn't started yet."
Looking at Ying An's bright red ears, Lin Tingyue suddenly remembered something.
She moved a little closer to Ying An Ying An, almost touching his eyes. Ying An held his breath; he could see Lin Tingyue's eyelashes clearly.
Lin Tingyue asked, " Mr. Ying, didn't you say you were joking yesterday? Why did you come here just because of the word 'blind date'?"
Chapter 108
This caught Ying An off guard.
He always thought Lin Tingyue was a bit oblivious, and that even if he panicked because of the word "blind date, "Lin Tingyue wouldn't notice anything.
But now it seems that's not the case.
Did Lin Tingyue suddenly notice something amiss, or did she realize something?
Ying An went to see Lin Tingyue, and what came into his view was Lin Tingyue's beautiful face. Ying An was speechless for a moment and forgot to defend himself until Lin Tingyue moved away from him.
Did I scare Mr. Ying?
Lin Tingyue looked at Ying An and asked with a troubled expression, " Mr. Ying, why aren't you saying anything?"
Ying An asked blankly, "What did I say?"
[Oh no, we've made Mr. Ying's head spin.]
So Lin Tingyue was just teasing him? Ying An pursed his lips.
"Actually, I was just joking," Lin Tingyue blinked, "How did Mr. Ying think of the effect?"
Looking at Lin Tingyue's innocent face, Ying An thought that when he said he was joking, he didn't mean it, but Lin Tingyue was probably really joking.
Ying An said, "Very good. If our director were here, he would definitely be satisfied."
However, his voice had become hoarse at some point, giving his originally magnetic voice a somewhat obscure and ambiguous quality.
Lin Tingyue stuck out her tongue and poured Ying An another glass of water. She vowed never to misbehave again.
Thank you, Miss Lin.
"You're welcome. Did you take the day off today?"
"We had a long night shoot yesterday, so we're resting today."
"Oh." Lin Tingyue nodded, then asked, "You finally have a day off, Mr. Ying, aren't you going home to visit?"
"I'm home."
[Seriously, Mr. Ying will definitely come home, Lin Tingyue, what nonsense are you spouting?]
"That..."
" Miss Lin, there's no need to make things up."
"I... I've always been a chatterbox."
Ying An smiled and said, "I see."
[Strange, Mr. Ying seems a little happier than before.]
Ying An An's emotional shift really that obvious?
Ying An stayed for an hour before leaving. Lin Tingyue watched him get into his car, thought for a moment, and wished him, "Have a smooth filming process."
Thank you, Miss Lin.
Looking at Lin Tingyue getting further and further away in the rearview mirror, Ying An felt that this drama would definitely go smoothly.
On her way back to the living room, Lin Tingyue received a call from Fan Qing.
"What's wrong, Qingqing?"
" Yueyue, my mom's best friend's restaurant is having its soft opening tonight. Want to come for dinner? They have lots of delicious food!"
"Here! Give me the address, I'll change my clothes and head out."
I'll come pick you up in my car.
"Okay, then call me when you arrive."
As Lin Yuhuan came out of his room, he ran into Lin Tingyue, who was humming a song.
Seeing that she had changed her clothes, Lin Yuhuan asked, "Are you going out?"
"Yes, Qingqing asked me out for dinner."
"Good."
Lin Tingyue suddenly remembered something, so she stopped and asked, "Big brother, are you home alone tonight?"
Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong went to their relatives' house, Lin Shengyan went to a party, and Lin Xiawan went out shopping with Yang Yuxing. She even stayed at Yang's house tonight.
Lin Yuhuan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems so."
"So, what are you having for dinner, brother?"
Lin Yuhuan reached out and patted Lin Tingyue's head. " Tingyue, don't worry about your older brother. He can cook for himself, unlike your second brother."
Lin Tingyue smiled and said, "Then I'm leaving."
"Okay, call me if anything comes up."
"Um."
As Lin Tingyue of the villa, Fan Qing was already waiting for her by the roadside.
Seeing Lin Tingyue, she walked over with a rose in her mouth. "Woman, all alone?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"I'm all alone too, come play with me!"
Lin Tingyue suppressed a laugh, tilted her head, and sized up Fan Qing for a while before saying, "I'll think about it."
"Still considering? Someone as outstanding as me is someone you couldn't find even with a lantern, okay?"
Fan Qing frowned, then quickly shoved Lin Tingyue into the passenger seat.
She walked around to the driver's side, got in the car, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "How was my acting? Not bad, right?"
Lin Tingyue said speechlessly, " Qingqing, just throw away that domineering CEO novel of yours."
Fan Qing: "?"
"Hmph," Fan Qing started the car, "I want to see it! I'm going to hire a whole film crew to put on a show for me!"
Is this also acceptable?
"Hmm... male actors all need to have eight-pack abs."
